Always But Russia, But China, But Hamas. Everything is genocide except for actual genocide, which is fine

I don’t take homework assignments from people who didn’t do the reading

I am not mixing up the terms.

You are mixing up the terms

and have now convinced you of their narrative.

This is something that you guys can never explain. I live in America, in the most concentrated hotbed of anticommunist propaganda the world has ever seen, and have never encountered so much as an old Soviet TV show. How the fuck did they “get” me? Countless billions of US government dollars and a century of red scare propaganda have gone towards trying to turn me into someone who froths at the mouth with rage upon hearing the word “socialism”. There are entire government initiatives, think tanks, and NGOs dedicated to spreading anticommunist propaganda throughout the world. What is the equivalent of that for a state that has not existed for longer than I’ve been alive? What does Occam’s Razor say about who is more likely to be the propagandized one in this situation?

Heh, novel way

1. They did not, just like the Soviets didn’t.

2. It matters what Israel does. Here is a state actually doing something you baselessly claim the USSR did, and surprise surprise, they’re acting completely opposite to how the USSR acted.

If the Soviets didn’t give the Ukranians statehood and autonomy, it was to murder and replace them. But when in fact they did give them statehood and autonomy, is was somehow also to murder and replace them. You are operating on an unfalsifiable orthodoxy where if the Soviets did something, it had to be for nefarious purposes simply because the Soviets did it.

The irony of saying this as someone ensconced in human history’s biggest propaganda bubble to people who have gone to the time and effort to educate themselves through primary sources is staggering, what color is the sky in this reality of yours?

Ever see the African Renissiance monument build by the DPRK in Senegal? A world class piece of art

1. Taken in isolation, THIS argument could be used to cast the Allied invasion of Italy in WW2 as a project of genocide. They did kill a number of Italians, after all.

2. Does Israel recognize the state of Palestine?

If that was the intent, why were they given their own Soviet Socialist Republic and not just folded into the Russian one? Would-be conquerors don’t give statehood and political autonomy to the people they’re trying to erase and absorb.

Which one

Even the author’s wife described the book as “folklore” lmao

It gets dumber: they also counted soviets killed by nazis in ww2 and the hypothetical children that dead eastern front nazis never had as victims of communism

This type of pseudo christian “everyone is a sinner🤷‍♂️” analysis stops short of delivering any useful or actionable understanding of what is going on in the world

“The people waving swastikas and seig heiling aren’t nazis, the people fighting them are! You’ve just been propagandized! Also you’re a filthy Russian orc and not a real person”

“Oh you just think everything is CIA propaganda!”

-people who think nothing is CIA propaganda

Russian is the second most commonly spoken language in Ukraine, and your opinion that speaking it is “pissing on their culture” puts you in league with the far right who were doing ethnic cleansing in that country since 2014. Reconsider your opinions.

I’m so fucking grateful I’m forced by law to subsidize a genocide

All time banger
